CUSIP No. 89904V 101 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 10 of 21 Pages |
Item 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Common Stock on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
The Reporting Persons made their investment as a result of their belief that Issuer presents a strong long-term opportunity in the home goods and décor category, particularly when coupled with REV’s deep experience working in e-commerce. The Reporting Persons believe that through their relationship with the Issuer, the Issuer will be ultimately able to optimize a high-touch omni-channel consumer experience that will become a market differentiator among the Issuer’s competitors. REV expects to collaborate with the Issuer extensively by, among other things, leveraging REV’s transformation expertise and technology capabilities, including effecting a deeper utilization of the Issuer’s website and marketing lists. Additionally, the Reporting Persons believe that the “Pier 1” exclusive license, provided by REV to the Issuer, will accrue benefits to the Issuer by introducing a widely-recognized consumer brand into the Issuer’s product mix, which the Reporting Persons believe will markedly increase the Issuer’s foot-traffic and operational performance. Further, the Reporting Persons have discussed with management of the Issuer many other synergistic opportunities between the Issuer and other intellectual properties owned or controlled by REV, including “Linens-n-Things,” “RadioShack,” “Stein Mart,” “”dressbarn” and “Bodybuilding.com.” The Reporting Persons also intend to discuss with the Issuer the potential of utilizing SaaS capabilities focused on omni-channel retail distribution.
The Reporting Persons understand many of the risks and uncertainties related to the Issuer, including those associated with operations, branding, liquidity, and market performance of the Issuer’s securities. However, the Reporting Persons believe that when considering the Reporting Persons contributions, expertise and experience, now available to the Issuer, the potential placing the Issuer on a viable path to unlocking enhanced value for all of the Issuer’s shareholders is significant. The Reporting Persons look forward to working with management and pursuing that path towards long-term profitable growth.
Note Purchase Agreement
On September 9, 2022, the Issuer entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (as amended and restated on September 20, 2022, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), with Tuesday Morning, Inc., TASCR, certain additional purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto (the “Additional Purchasers” and, together with TASCR, the “Purchasers”) and TASCR Ventures CA, LLC, as collateral agent, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell in a private placement (the “Transaction”) (i) to TASCR, (A) a junior secured convertible note of the Issuer in the aggregate principal amount of $7,500,000 million (the “FILO C Note”) and (B) two junior secured convertible notes of the Issuer in the aggregate principal amount of $24,500,000 million (the “Junior Secured Convertible Notes” and, together with the FILO C Notes, the “Convertible Notes”) and (ii) to the Additional Purchasers, junior secured convertible notes of the Issuer in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000. The Transaction closed on September 20, 2022.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, and immediately following the closing of the Transaction, TASCR has the right to designate five individuals, reasonably acceptable to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and TASCR, to the Issuer’s Board of Directors.

FILO C Note
On September 20, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Transaction and pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, TASCR purchased the FILO C Note. The FILO C Note will mature upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2027 or (ii) the maturity date of the FILO B Obligations (as defined in that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 20, 2022, by and among the Issuer, Tuesday Morning, Inc., TMI Holdings, Inc., the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and 1930P Loan Agent, LLC, as FILO B documentation agent (the “ABL Credit Agreement”)). Interest will accrue on the FILO C Note at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 6.50% and will be payable semiannually. Under the terms of the FILO C Note, during the two-year period following the closing of the Transaction, the Issuer may elect to pay interest on the FILO C Note “in kind” by increasing the principal of the FILO C Note by the amount of any such interest payable. The provisions of the intercreditor agreements relating to the FILO C Note and other outstanding indebtedness of the Issuer require such payments to be made “in-kind,” subject to certain limited exceptions applicable after the second anniversary of the closing of the Transaction.
The FILO C Note is secured by the same collateral that secures (i) the revolving loans and FILO A and FILO B term loans under the ABL Credit Agreement (collectively, the “ABL Obligations”), (ii) the term loan issued under the Term Loan Agreement (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), and (iii) the Junior Secured Convertible Notes. With respect to the collateral as to which the ABL Obligations have a first priority lien, the lien on such collateral securing the FILO C Note ranks junior to the lien securing the ABL Obligations and senior to the borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement and the Junior Secured Convertible Notes. With respect to the collateral as to which the borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement have a first priority lien, the lien on such collateral securing the FILO C Note ranks junior to the liens securing the ABL Obligations and the borrowings under Term Loan Agreement and senior to the lien securing Junior Secured Convertible Notes. With respect to payment priority, the FILO C Note is subordinated to the ABL Obligations, pari passu with the borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement, and senior to the Junior Secured Convertible Notes.
The FILO C Note contains covenants and events of default that are customary for this type of financing.
The foregoing description of the FILO C Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the FILO C Note, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.4 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Junior Secured Convertible Notes
On September 20, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Transaction and pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, TASCR purchased the Junior Secured Convertible Notes. The Junior Secured Convertible Notes will mature on December 31, 2027. Interest will accrue on the Junior Secured Convertible Notes at a rate equal to SOFR plus 6.50% and will be payable semiannually. Under the terms of the Junior Secured Convertible Notes, during the two-year period following the closing of the Transaction, the Issuer may elect to pay interest on the Junior Secured Convertible Notes “in kind.” The provisions of the intercreditor agreements relating to the Junior Secured Convertible Notes and other outstanding indebtedness of the Issuer require such payments to be made “in-kind.”
The Junior Secured Convertible Notes are secured by the same collateral that secures the revolving loans and FILO B term loans under the ABL Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and the FILO C Note (the “Other Secured Debt”). The liens securing the Junior Secured Convertible Notes rank junior to the liens securing the Other Secured Debt. With respect to payment priority, the Junior Secured Convertible Notes are subordinated to all of the Other Secured Debt.
The Junior Secured Convertible Notes contain covenants and events of default that are customary for this type of financing.
The foregoing description of the Junior Secured Convertible Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Form of Junior Secured Convertible Note, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.5 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
